Speaker 1: I hope it's a happy Monday for you, because it
Speaker 1: wasn't the happiest of Fantasy Football Sundays for me as
Speaker 1: a as a David Johnson owner and as a Chargers
Speaker 1: Better the BFFs. We did it. We did it. We're
Speaker 1: on the board night. At least things worked out in
Speaker 1: one league. Greg, how about that? Actually with the two
Speaker 1: leagues that were released that we shared together, we have one.
Speaker 1: There you go the Yang You know that? So Mitch, Yeah,
Speaker 1: even with Patrick Mahomes getting hurt and get for not
Speaker 1: training us Levi on belt. You know that smug guy
Speaker 1: did to us on Friday, what do he comes out
Speaker 1: to He was like, oh, man, I think I got
Speaker 1: a good shot this week. I'm like, dude, I Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes getting nothing and Travis Kelsey do nothing and you
Speaker 1: think you have a good shot this week? He's like, shrug,
Speaker 1: Well yeah, when you put it like that, I do
Speaker 1: have a good shot. Well thanks, Yang, tick a man
Speaker 1: while he's down. You know what, two men, you know what?
Speaker 1: You know what, that's fantasy karma. We kicked his gass
Speaker 1: this week. That's fantasy karma. That's that's a real thing. Though.
Speaker 1: If you start celebrating early, you start trash talking people,
Speaker 1: things are just gonna start going sideways. Man, it is real.
Speaker 1: So fantasy karma is real. It's a fantasy karma. So
Speaker 1: this week the controversy in my league, and I wasn't
Speaker 1: really a part of a part of because you're the
Speaker 1: commissioner So in my league we do a waiver run
Speaker 1: every day overnight. It goes every days Yahoo league, right,
Speaker 1: so as you know who tends to have these loopholes
Speaker 1: that we did, you exploit, right? So I realized early
Speaker 1: on in the season because I saw somebody do it
Speaker 1: that even for a player, that so for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that our waivers don't run on a Friday. Rue's every
Speaker 1: day but Friday and Monday obviously, and and Tuesday. So
Speaker 1: I guess it's it's Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday those four days.
Speaker 1: So I realized after Thursday night football with the Rams
Speaker 1: played that I put in the labor gerald Ever like,
Speaker 1: all right, tight end, and I got him on my team.
Speaker 1: Then the next day like on Saturday, it's weird. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna tell anybody. I'll just take him correct all
Speaker 1: you did I do anything wrong in that regard? No
Speaker 1: should I have told. Nobody else noticed it. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to bring it up to people. So one so
Speaker 1: jet Van Jeff goes, how did you get Gerald Ever? Was?
Speaker 1: I don't know, He's a Yahoo loophole. He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. No one says anything, no one does anything,
Speaker 1: all right, cool, So have you ever Lever actually traded
Speaker 1: him away lost anyway. It was a disaster. OK, sorry, no,
Speaker 1: we deal. So this past Thursday happens, Hatrick Mahomes gets hurt.
Speaker 1: He puts an acclaim on Friday for a Super Flex League.
Speaker 1: From that more it's a dollar gets him on Saturday. Uproar, uproar.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't you who picked him up. It was
Speaker 1: somebody else. But of course, like, how can he do
Speaker 1: that in the super Flex League. It's probably people are
Speaker 1: paying a little bit more attention, So how can he
Speaker 1: do that? It's so slimy, And of course he's responses
Speaker 1: And then they looped you in. They roped you in, Greggy,
Speaker 1: Greg did it first? Greg noticed you tell anybody you
Speaker 1: guys are some? You don't tell us. That's rude, it's
Speaker 1: shady as af Like, how can you do that? Not
Speaker 1: tell the league? And of course Jeff fan Jeff's just
Speaker 1: like I should have outed Gregg the first time. He
Speaker 1: should have. Fine, you should have some he should have
Speaker 1: didn't do anything illegal. I do appreciate that shady as
Speaker 1: a F two because that's redundant, like r b I
Speaker 1: s are done than also um bed at insight, So
Speaker 1: use for this weekend my league. But that's yahoo, man, Frank,
Speaker 1: So now, don't do anything wrong unless they figure it out.
Speaker 1: It's only cheating if you get caught, right. But it
Speaker 1: wasn't shading. It was a loophole technically, Well what to loophole? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, bending the rules kind of seeing.
Speaker 1: You know, it's Bill Belichick knowing the rules. There you go.
Speaker 1: The difference is it's whistling from his bench. That's what's right.
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's undefeated. Me. I can't buy a win because
Speaker 1: I suck. So this is your fantasy karma. So you
Speaker 1: get I didn't cheat, but I still suck. I'm sorry. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, Greg, as David Johnson owner, I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna lose as well. What are my chances of the
Speaker 1: Patriots scoring two points or less tonight? The Patriots defense? Yes,
Speaker 1: very bad. Yeah it's not kids tonight. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: move to night football. A little bit later on in
Speaker 1: the show Patriots uh and Jets from met Lefty going,
Speaker 1: I'm not going. I was offered tickets by two different people.
Speaker 1: But get home late on Monday night and you know
Speaker 1: your Tuesday gets start off. You're all sluggish it's gonna
Speaker 1: take me a while to get home from the stadium.
Speaker 1: It's fine, I was just watching it from the comfort
Speaker 1: of my couch. Jests are probably gonna get blown out anyway.
Speaker 1: Probably I'm gonna I might want to try to go
Speaker 1: to Giants Cowboys in two weeks on of the night.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm considering. I'm Daniel Jones keeps playing
Speaker 1: the way he is. Maybe you don't want to do that,
Speaker 1: you know, Man, I'm gonna say it's definitely. It's like
Speaker 1: on my right, it's it's my wedding week. It was.
Speaker 1: It was a cool week to start off the wedding eight, right,
Speaker 1: like like Giants Cowboys. See, that's basically kicking off November. Huh,
Speaker 1: kicking off your birthday week, my birthday week. That's right,
Speaker 1: it's not your wedding week, it's my birthday. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm pretty sure my birthday is more
Speaker 1: important than saying what more wedding. I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: my birthday week, your birthday week, coincides of my wedding week.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, will there be a birthday cake for
Speaker 1: me at your will be cake? Birthday cake cake can
Speaker 1: I just have one candle on my piece of cake.
Speaker 1: Can we make that happen? Absolutely? You if you bring everybody,
Speaker 1: if you bring a coke, come on you piece of cake.
Speaker 1: You're gonna set it up for me. Man, no problem,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have You're not gonna have your pants
Speaker 1: and have you birthday to me. That'd be great. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it wouldn't be you're not noticing. Have you a
Speaker 1: birthday to you? And that would be equally great. You
Speaker 1: can do that, you get my camp friends are gonna
Speaker 1: bother you with advice all night long, and you're like, listen,
Speaker 1: you want advice? Sing for me? Damn it? All right? Good?
Speaker 1: And I'm hopefully I'm so intoxicated that I give them
Speaker 1: all the correct answers. Hopefull. You know, when I'm sober,
Speaker 1: I probably won't give them the wrong advice for them. Frank,
Speaker 1: something's gonna help you and your cheating team. Gregg. Sorry,
Speaker 1: we're all in touch with the loopholes in that league.
Speaker 1: I don't assume you're losing in every one of your
Speaker 1: home That things good? Alright, three and four, it's good team,
Speaker 1: a good luck, Thanks, Funny, we'll take a break into
Speaker 1: David Johnson. We're gonna getting to his brother, carry on Johnson,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna hit HERB Smith Jr. Doesn't not a Johnson.
Speaker 1: We'll do it anyway. Come up here on the viffs

Speaker 1: sports grid dot Com. Alright, Frankie, Week seven only has
Speaker 1: one more game left to go. It's tonight between the
Speaker 1: Jets and the Pats. We learned a lot yesterday, so
Speaker 1: let's chat about one we lost and sorry, all right,
Speaker 1: the face on anyway, It's okay. The winners and the
Speaker 1: losers and the You know that we can't exactly figure
Speaker 1: out coming out all this weekend, so let's begin in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Let's presents winners, I won, Losers, you suck. You are
Speaker 1: one pathetical loser, and I have no idea what's going.
Speaker 1: Let's begame and live stadium. Yesterday Arizona took it to
Speaker 1: New York Giants, in particular Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray kind
Speaker 1: of yesterday for the most part, didn't have to do
Speaker 1: too much, but it was all about Chase Edmunds. It
Speaker 1: was the Chase edmund Show for the Arizona Cardinals as
Speaker 1: he dominated David Johnson, played three snaps, came out of
Speaker 1: the game, and Chase Edmunds shows that, Hey, I could
Speaker 1: be a lead back in these league. We talked about
Speaker 1: the fan duel, hurry up, how much you may want
Speaker 1: to own Chase Edmonds going to phone. He talked about
Speaker 1: it over the last three weeks that this is a
Speaker 1: handcuff that has to be owned. Now. The question that's
Speaker 1: on Nannie David Johnson owner's minds is now that is
Speaker 1: this gonna be a split? But Chase Edmonds is going
Speaker 1: to have a role when Johnson is healthy. How substantial
Speaker 1: can that be? I said this on the fandal hurry
Speaker 1: up as well, Greg. I think Chase Edmonds has definitely
Speaker 1: earned a role in this offense even when David Johnson
Speaker 1: is healthy, if when he is ever healthy, if that's
Speaker 1: even a thing. But maybe similar to Jamal Williams's role
Speaker 1: with the Green Bay Packers, you know, playing thirty five
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps, getting some work in there. Maybe
Speaker 1: some work in the past game as well. Here's what
Speaker 1: I'll say about Chase Edmonds is that he ran really
Speaker 1: well yesterday. David Johnson hasn't been able to run the
Speaker 1: football effectively this year. He hasn't had more than ninety
Speaker 1: rushing yards in a single game. Yesterday, Chase Edmonds had
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty seven rushing yards on the season.
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds is averaging over five yards per carry. David
Speaker 1: Johnson is averaging three point nine yards per carry, and
Speaker 1: it's behind the same offensive line, so you can't really
Speaker 1: make excuses. I think that there's a chance that once
Speaker 1: David Johns in his back and he's good to go,
Speaker 1: he is a really good pass catcher. They run four
Speaker 1: wide receiver sets. Is it crazy that we can see
Speaker 1: David Johnson line up in the slot or on the
Speaker 1: outside in those four wide receiver sets, and Chase Edmonds
Speaker 1: is on the field in the backfield. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I think that they're going to get creative
Speaker 1: with this. But I will say this, Greig. So far today,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have announced that they're gonna work out j
Speaker 1: Ji and that they're gonna work out Spencer, where they
Speaker 1: clearly need running back death. But what that tells me
Speaker 1: is that this David Johnson injury might actually be worse
Speaker 1: than they're leading on. You know, he's dealt with the
Speaker 1: back injury so far this year, surgically repaired risk. Now
Speaker 1: he's got the ankle. The guy has beat up, and
Speaker 1: they're working out running backs. As for yesterday, and I've
Speaker 1: seen people talking about this on Twitter today. They didn't
Speaker 1: really have a choice but to have David Johnson active. Now,
Speaker 1: should they have told us in advance that, well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of Chase Edmonds in this game.
Speaker 1: That would have been helpful for fantasy, would have been
Speaker 1: helpful maybe for you know, betting purposes as all for props.
Speaker 1: But if you think about it, why would the Cardinals
Speaker 1: tip their hand? I mean why would they give, you know,
Speaker 1: why would they reveal any competitive edge that they have?
Speaker 1: Right if the Giants are prepping the entire week and
Speaker 1: expecting David Johnson, why would the Cardinals reveal that they're
Speaker 1: not going to use him, that he's only gonna play
Speaker 1: three snaps, and that Chase Edmonds was gonna play of
Speaker 1: the snaps and get twenty nine touches. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: The problem, Greg, the biggest problem that I have with
Speaker 1: everything from yesterday is that the Cardinals Twitter account, if
Speaker 1: you can throw the graphic up downstairs, please, the Twitter
Speaker 1: account had the audacity to tweet out afterwards this image.
Speaker 1: You should have started Chase Edmonds in fantasy. You don't
Speaker 1: have to do that, Arizona Cardinals, because that is a
Speaker 1: douche move. You don't have to do this, Greg, There's
Speaker 1: no reason to do this. I mean, everyone already feels
Speaker 1: terrible that they had David Johnson in their lineup and
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds on their bench. What's the point of this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure millions of people are competing at you and say, well,
Speaker 1: you could have told us about David Johnson and Chase Edmonds.
Speaker 1: That's fine. We're all feeling terrible yesterday. As David Johnson owners.
Speaker 1: That was not necessary and this trolling, No, dude, well
Speaker 1: you know you loved it because you don't own David
Speaker 1: Johnson any leagues, do you. I started him, Greg in
Speaker 1: a league where he gave me zero point to fantasy points.
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds had thirties seven on my bench. Now my
Speaker 1: only chance of winning is the Patriots defense putting up
Speaker 1: two or less points. Asked that question, it's not gonna happen. Now,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. I lost, But the biggest problem
Speaker 1: I had was the fact that they didn't have to
Speaker 1: tweet that out everything else. I kind of understand why
Speaker 1: they did it. Jason Edmondson is a winner. We'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. Next week. They go and face the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. They are big underdogs in that game. Looks
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees is gonna be back for that game.
Speaker 1: As of now, they're saying they're they're trying to get you.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. They're eight and a half point
Speaker 1: favorites right now. They could be playing from behind. The
Speaker 1: Saints are good against the run. I don't expect David
Speaker 1: Johnson to play in that game personally as of now,
Speaker 1: because they're working out other running backs, so we should
Speaker 1: we shall see. If Chase Edmonds is available, he should
Speaker 1: be added. He's probably the second priority at the running
Speaker 1: back position in terms of waiver ONSI in the logic
Speaker 1: of trying to use it's just that I believe the
Speaker 1: Saints of a buy in Week nine, like why not
Speaker 1: just give Breeze an extra two weeks here, like, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Realistically, they probably don't need him
Speaker 1: to beat the Cardinals either. Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two gloves
Speaker 1: playing pretty well right now. Bridgewater is gonna give himself
Speaker 1: the starting job because all he does is win and talking.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they give him up. They
Speaker 1: give up a third round pick to get him. I
Speaker 1: still think that he's Drew Brees a successor. I don't
Speaker 1: think so be a fregent again, isn't he How many
Speaker 1: years does Drew Brees have left? You're telling me if
Speaker 1: the States win the Super Bowl this year, he doesn't
Speaker 1: just ride off into the sunset. I think that's a
Speaker 1: realistic possibility. They give up a third round pick. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're just gonna let him go.
Speaker 1: They give their choices. Hey, bridge Water free agent. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's a free agent. He was a free agent
Speaker 1: last year. They give their round pick, decided to resign
Speaker 1: him seven million dollars to be back up, All right, cool,
Speaker 1: I was worth it. I think that I think they
Speaker 1: pay him again. But here's the thing, He's proven he
Speaker 1: could win. So now Bridgewater could probably get a lot
Speaker 1: of money from a team that he's desperate. Maybe this
Speaker 1: is one of the best systems to be in. So
Speaker 1: he just helped out his cause tremendous offensive and it
Speaker 1: was Is Teddy bridge Water really this good though? That's
Speaker 1: the question. So I agree with you, but all we
Speaker 1: can say is he continues to find ways and seven
Speaker 1: against the spread in his career, GREG five and oh
Speaker 1: since he's taken over, and yesterday was no different. He
Speaker 1: went into Chicago and one against his Chicago Bears defense,
Speaker 1: Like that's an impressive Windwater is making himself money man
Speaker 1: looking for him. Impressive, impressive win without Alvin Kamara and
Speaker 1: without Drew Brees, Bridgewater did his job. Latavius Murray Man.
Speaker 1: Like we were trying to figure out where to rank
Speaker 1: him last week, I had him as a low and
Speaker 1: RB two not high enough, clearly clearly not. He finishes
Speaker 1: the RB two on the week overall behind Jase Edmonds.
Speaker 1: And I know this defense is is very good or
Speaker 1: is a puposed to me? But that's not back to
Speaker 1: back weeks and they have allowed a lot of point
Speaker 1: fantasy points to their opposing running back and they've they've
Speaker 1: lost the chem Hicks who was there. He's a big
Speaker 1: stalwart in the middle of that defensive line who helps
Speaker 1: against the run tremendously. Now, they still had him a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when they faced Josh Jacobs in
Speaker 1: the Raiders. But you're right, there's now two games in
Speaker 1: a row where they give up over a hundred rushing
Speaker 1: yards two rushing touchdowns. Maybe the Bears defense, especially against
Speaker 1: the run, is not as good as it was. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Who's who do they play this week? To the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears will be hosting? This is fun? The Los Angeles Chargers,
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon and Austin I want to get into Austin Ekeler, Melbourn,
Speaker 1: Gordon in a little bit. I do that after the break,
Speaker 1: But let me just stick with this game for a moment. Uh.
Speaker 1: Did you pay attention to who the tight end was
Speaker 1: for New Orleans because Jared Cook didn't play a long out,
Speaker 1: it was Josh Hill once again. Josh Hill scores the
Speaker 1: touched on against Chicago. If Jared Cook doesn't play again,
Speaker 1: Josh all very much hard streaming tight end this week
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. You're gonna have to pay attention to
Speaker 1: Jarry Cook all week long. Josh Hill and potentially a
Speaker 1: potential streaming option on the other side of the the Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1: Something else that was dead wrong about this year. Alan Robinson,
Speaker 1: like Alan Robinson, has been awesome all year. He is
Speaker 1: the only weapon of this of the receiving corps for Chicago.
Speaker 1: Tree Burton does nothing. Ethany Millard does nothing to like
Speaker 1: Gabriel does nothing like. It's all Alan Robinson at all
Speaker 1: times and as bad as unreliable as Mitchell Drabinsky is.
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson had like sixteen targets yesterday. He did. It
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable performance by arab and he is to
Speaker 1: me a reliable Loewen Rode receiver two at the moment. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I said on Friday that I was hesitant in
Speaker 1: this matchup because he was going on Marshall Mattimore. Now
Speaker 1: it was garbage time, which is fine. I mean garbage
Speaker 1: garbage time. Fantasy points counts is count as well. Allan
Speaker 1: Robinson is used to this. I mean he's played with
Speaker 1: Blake Portles, right, He's played now with Mitchell Robinsky. He's
Speaker 1: used to bad quarterback play. Sixteen targets actually a career
Speaker 1: high for him. Yesterday in that game ten receptions for
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards and a touchdown. He's has three touchdowns
Speaker 1: over his last two games. He's had at least seventy
Speaker 1: seven seventy seven receiving yards in three street. He's had
Speaker 1: at least seven targets in every game this season. You're right, Greg,
Speaker 1: he is a mustart wide receiver too every single week,
Speaker 1: or as we would say, Alan Robinson, a winner. He
Speaker 1: is a winner Bears. The Bears running back David Montgomery
Speaker 1: specifically huge, huge, loser, unbelievable. Man. I told you about
Speaker 1: a trade I wanted to propose four Dave of Montgomery.
Speaker 1: You didn't do what nighted doing. Feel good with Austin Ekeler.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about winners and losers with the Chargers. We
Speaker 1: were sorry. Sports grid dot Com Betting insights and entertainment

Speaker 1: So I'm excited for the seasons. It would have been
Speaker 1: awesome if Zion was going to play. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: unfortunate obviously for the NBA and for the Pelicans, but
Speaker 1: I know not. We'll get more brandon Ingram tomorrow. I'm
Speaker 1: not supposed to do this. They have my basketball draft
Speaker 1: last night. I couldn't figure out what to do about Zion,
Speaker 1: like I did. I got in on the bidding and
Speaker 1: in the auction. How much did he go for? That
Speaker 1: was what I was about to ask you. How much
Speaker 1: of the Zion should have gone? I don't like, how
Speaker 1: how much did Pascal for her? I'm pulling I'm pulling
Speaker 1: up the because I don't do fantasy basketball auctions, so
Speaker 1: I don't really know very similar to the NFL there,
Speaker 1: or at least my auction was so sam whatever forty three.
Speaker 1: I will say that Zion went for thirty four thirty nine. Okay,
Speaker 1: So in between what I said and so yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean that probably still makes some what a late third
Speaker 1: early fourth round pick in terms of his dollar amount.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money. Though for someone who might
Speaker 1: miss you know they're going to be cautious with him,
Speaker 1: so over pick. I was in on Zion until pretty late,
Speaker 1: and I was like why don't. I don't do this, Gred,
Speaker 1: don't get in on the injured guys. Don't be stupid.
Speaker 1: You you know we had injury. Optimis that guy David
Speaker 1: Johnson Green? I didn't, Dude, he might not. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna play another game with the Bengals. Why
Speaker 1: would he play a game with him at this point?
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. Let's get back to yesterday, Greg,
Speaker 1: Let's get right back into it. And I mentioned the
Speaker 1: Chargers and um by the way before I continue. Don't
Speaker 1: get back into this, but sure you follow us here
Speaker 1: on YouTube. If you're watching on YouTube, if you're watching
Speaker 1: on zoom cha. I don't have a nine team wherever
Speaker 1: you're watching because I don't YouTube. We like to talk
Speaker 1: on our chat. You can live interaction with us, So
Speaker 1: get on YouTube and also check us out on Instagram
Speaker 1: at Sportscrid TV. That's where you can find everything that
Speaker 1: we do at Sportscred Team babe, all right, Frankie, yesterday,
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers, Fellow, the Tennessee Titans, and Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into Tannehill and all these Titans weapons
Speaker 1: in just a moment. But I wanted to start with
Speaker 1: the Chargers because a clear loser of yesterday, there's Melvin Gordon.
Speaker 1: Because Melvin about every single way post, every faster of
Speaker 1: the game, right Like, he's a worse at receiving the football.
Speaker 1: He's never been good at yards per carry. And you
Speaker 1: saw that yesterday. We were just like, looks like he's plotting.
Speaker 1: He lost the game for his team by fumbling at
Speaker 1: the goal line. Meanwhile, Austin Ekeler had a few receptions
Speaker 1: in the first half, he had like three, like three
Speaker 1: for forty or four for four years. Let along those lines.
Speaker 1: In the second half, he's running more routes. He got
Speaker 1: like a forty yard touchdown on a double move. He
Speaker 1: almost had a second touchdown down the middle. It would
Speaker 1: have won the game for the Chargers. Ekeler, every time
Speaker 1: he's on the field looks like a winner. He looks
Speaker 1: better than Melvin Gordon. Yet there's Anthony Lynn constantly giving
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon an opportunity after opportunity to be successful. Gordon
Speaker 1: through the game away for the Chargers. You had said
Speaker 1: to me, I believe it's a week ago. Might have
Speaker 1: been to where at what point did the Chargers just
Speaker 1: say screw this. Eckler is a better player. Ecklers are
Speaker 1: long term. Guy. Let me get him on the field
Speaker 1: and let me use him more. And I said, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. They're gonna run Melvin Gordon into the ground. Well,
Speaker 1: I've kind of come around in your way of thinking,
Speaker 1: because I still think like over the last two weeks,
Speaker 1: I've been right there trying to run Melvin Gordon into
Speaker 1: the ground and trying to use him and all facts
Speaker 1: stuff game. But every time we look, Austin Ekeler is
Speaker 1: simply the better player. Yesterday, they would have left Ekeler
Speaker 1: in the game, they probably win that football game. Melon
Speaker 1: Gordon a loser, Austin Ekeler winner. How do you see
Speaker 1: this shaping up going forward? That's what fantasy owners needs
Speaker 1: to know. Yeah, I do think that we could be
Speaker 1: getting closer to that Melvin Gordon we know is going
Speaker 1: to be a free agent in the off season. Are
Speaker 1: the Chargers going to bring him back? I'm not so sure.
Speaker 1: And they were performing better without him earlier on in
Speaker 1: the season, Gregg the first four games they were two
Speaker 1: and two, averaging two point five points per game, and
Speaker 1: with Melvin Gordon since he's been back there, oh in
Speaker 1: three and they're averaging sixteen points seven points per game
Speaker 1: on offense. I mean, it's just obvious at this point
Speaker 1: that Austin Ekeler makes them a better team. He's more
Speaker 1: dynamic as well. I mean, Melvin Gordon looks a lot
Speaker 1: like you know, Peyton Barber right now. He's just running
Speaker 1: into the back of his offensive line. An offensive line,
Speaker 1: by the way, which is not good. It might not
Speaker 1: all be on Melvin Gordon, but there are twenty one
Speaker 1: in run blocking right now according to football outsiders. There's
Speaker 1: just they hn't run between the tackles. There's nowhere from
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon to run. He's not somebody who can really
Speaker 1: break it to the outside and break off these long runs.
Speaker 1: He's he's always been the grinder, the guy who wears
Speaker 1: defenses down. And he's good inside the red zone. He's
Speaker 1: good at scoring touchdowns. Well, yesterday he wasn't. He had
Speaker 1: two opportunities inside the one yard line, and I bet
Speaker 1: on the Chargers money line greg And honestly, as soon
Speaker 1: as they ruled the first one a touchdown and then
Speaker 1: overruled it, I said, I turned to my friend, I said,
Speaker 1: something bad's about to happen. This is Los Angeles Charger football.
Speaker 1: That he's either gonna fumble or Philip Rivers is gonna
Speaker 1: throw an interception. Mind you, very next play he fumbles
Speaker 1: the ball, it would just seem like a guarantee. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is Chargers football for as long as we can remember.
Speaker 1: But yesterday Eckler thirty seven snaps, Melvin Gordon thirty three,
Speaker 1: uh nineteen opportunities for Melvin Gordon, there was thirteen yesterday
Speaker 1: for Austin Ekeler. He had eight targets, he had that
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown. I think that this team, while you don't
Speaker 1: want to be one dimensional, I think that they should
Speaker 1: just use the short passing game to their running backs
Speaker 1: as an extension of the run game. I mean, we
Speaker 1: see we saw the Detroit Lions do that for years
Speaker 1: because they couldn't run the football. I think the Chargers
Speaker 1: should go down a similar route. Their offensive line is
Speaker 1: just not good enough right now, and if that's the
Speaker 1: route that they want to go to go down, Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler fits that better. So as of right now, if
Speaker 1: I were just ranking these guys, who would I'd rather own?
Speaker 1: I think Austin Ekeler is the more dynamic talent. Definitely
Speaker 1: in PPR, he's gonna get more targets, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: more receptions. Um, they can't run block right now, Greg,
Speaker 1: And if you're a Melvin Gordon owner, you feel really
Speaker 1: bad about him. I think he's more of a high
Speaker 1: end flex, high end RB three right now than the
Speaker 1: low n RB one. The high end RB two that
Speaker 1: you were drafting him to be just doesn't look good
Speaker 1: right now for Melvin Gordon. So I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out the value of both of those guys. As I
Speaker 1: said going to break, I had offered almost like three
Speaker 1: weeks in a row Austin Ekeler straight up for David Montgomery.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that anymore. I wouldn't do
Speaker 1: it now. Yeah, I can't do that anymore. But if
Speaker 1: you're an Austin Ekeler owner of aending in the position
Speaker 1: that you're in I was, he's my own position. I'm
Speaker 1: three and four in this league, you just hold onto him.
Speaker 1: What are you trading? Well? What are you gonna get
Speaker 1: him for? That's what you have to ask yourself. It's
Speaker 1: crazy because previously offered over Miles Sanders too I don't
Speaker 1: want to do that. No, I mean that's not gonna
Speaker 1: help you either, or at least he's getting targets right now,
Speaker 1: I mean eight targets history that was tied for a
Speaker 1: second on the team with Hunter. Henry has seven receptions
Speaker 1: and eighteen yards. It means the way that they utilized
Speaker 1: him yesterday is how they should utilize him every game.
Speaker 1: I mean, he burnt a linebacker. No linebacker is gonna
Speaker 1: be able to guard Austin Ekeler, especially you know, on
Speaker 1: wheel routes, on you know, quick slants. They're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to guard him. He's just too quick. So
Speaker 1: I think that that's gonna be his role. I think
Speaker 1: in PPR leagues he is a low and RB two
Speaker 1: he's he's a high end flex option and that's fine.
Speaker 1: You just have to realize what his value is. He's
Speaker 1: not the running back that he was early on in
Speaker 1: the season. He's not going to have that level of value.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that he doesn't have value. So
Speaker 1: if you can flip him for a wide receiver three,
Speaker 1: if you need wide receiver helps something like that, that
Speaker 1: might make sense. But if you need a flex I
Speaker 1: think he's fine. Trade for Allen Robinson. I do that, sure.
Speaker 1: I don't you get it though? Yeah? Probably not all right? Um,
Speaker 1: would you trade, thinking out loud, would you trade Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler and MVS for Robinson? Yeah? I do that for sure,
Speaker 1: would do that as well. Let me get to MBS
Speaker 1: here in a moment. Now on the other side, in
Speaker 1: this game, in the Chargers Titans game, Titans were successful
Speaker 1: and as the new quarterback of course, Ryan Tannehill the
Speaker 1: starter yesterday and the open up the ovens right through
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards. A. J. Brown, Cold Beasley, Um,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis all very much involved. Derrick Henry also found
Speaker 1: the end zone. It seems like the ovens came alive
Speaker 1: a little bit yesterday. But Frank, the question that fantasy
Speaker 1: owners want to know is what is real and what
Speaker 1: was a mirage? We've seen glimpses A. J. Brown and
Speaker 1: Corey Davis before we know I think called Beasley again,
Speaker 1: Jesus Adam Humphreeze was came alive in this game too. Um,
Speaker 1: what was real and what should fantasy owners not believe
Speaker 1: coming out of yesterday? Well, first of all, I think
Speaker 1: that Ryan Tannehill is better for this team right now
Speaker 1: than Marcus Marriott. I think he showed that yesterday thirty
Speaker 1: nine three twelve yards, ten point eight yards per tamp,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, that's a pretty damn good game. He's gonna
Speaker 1: turn the ball over at times. He did have one interception,
Speaker 1: but overall, you know, going up against look, the Chargers
Speaker 1: are not a great defense. They're beat up as well,
Speaker 1: but they're supposed to have a good corner in Casey
Speaker 1: Hayward and Corey Davis still had a great game. He
Speaker 1: had six receptions, eight yards and a touchdown. And I
Speaker 1: feel really good about both Corey Davis and A J.
Speaker 1: Brown heading into next week because they faced the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks. The Tampa Bay Bucks have allowed five receiving
Speaker 1: touchdowns to wide receivers over their last three games. So
Speaker 1: even if it's just for the short term, I don't
Speaker 1: see how this can hurt their value. I think that
Speaker 1: this actually helps their value a lot. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: this morning the Waiver Wire show tomorrow, but if Corey
Speaker 1: Davis and A J. Brown are available, I am very
Speaker 1: bullish on these guys that each had seven targets yesterday.
Speaker 1: In fact, A J. Brown had eight targets, and I
Speaker 1: think that they can make the most of that going
Speaker 1: up against that Bucks secondary. So I am I'm buying in.
Speaker 1: I'm buying in on the Titans wide receivers with with
Speaker 1: Tannehill as the quarterback, because at the least he can
Speaker 1: get the ball in their hands. Marcus Mariotta was not
Speaker 1: able to do that. Greg and dare Rick Henry yesterday
Speaker 1: another twenty two carries had at least He's had at
Speaker 1: least fifteen carries in every game so far this season,
Speaker 1: ninety rushing yards a touchdown as well. How about this, Greg,
Speaker 1: The seven touchdowns that he scored before that one yesterday
Speaker 1: all came from the one yard crazy he this was
Speaker 1: the first touchdown that he's had in his last eight
Speaker 1: that came from one, not from the one. He was
Speaker 1: an eleven yard touchdowns, So, I mean they used him
Speaker 1: in that regard. You know, whenever they get down to
Speaker 1: the goal line, they used Derrick Henry. But that was
Speaker 1: nice to see as well. I mean, he is a
Speaker 1: legitimate high end r B two regardless of how their
Speaker 1: offensive line is playing, regardless of who the quarterback is,
Speaker 1: because they want to run the football and you know
Speaker 1: the volume is gonna be there with Derrick Henry. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is as reliables they come, you kind of
Speaker 1: know what they are. We'll see what Ryan Tannehill can do.
Speaker 1: The Chargers have an underwhelming and ever he says of
Speaker 1: the word this season, we'll see how real the Titans are.
Speaker 1: Was was the this chair has hurt in my back.
Speaker 1: It was nothing that you're saying, Greg, Just sit up
Speaker 1: all right. I mentioned MB yes before Green Day was
Speaker 1: led by Aaron rodd Yester. You had six total touchdowns,
Speaker 1: five through the air, one on the ground. He was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: MBS and Toronto Alison both played. MBS has a big
Speaker 1: game right too, long catches including a touchdown reception. Just
Speaker 1: embarrassing defense by the Raiders. You can't even call it
Speaker 1: defense whatever it was. I mean they were on the field,
Speaker 1: but base defense was all that good either. No, they weren't.
Speaker 1: But I mean on that touchdown to MVS, I mean
Speaker 1: he took a short pass and just ran down the
Speaker 1: sideline untouched. Nobody was even near me at seventy four
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. Big plays for for Marquez Valden Scantling, huge
Speaker 1: game for Aaron Rodgers, but ultimately only three targets for MVS.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about this a little bit more when
Speaker 1: we come back. Greg, but targets chair. For me, this
Speaker 1: wasn't a great one for MVS. Absolutely right. We take
Speaker 1: a break. More from green Bay. More around the league, winners,
Speaker 1: losers at sports grid dot Com, Betting insights and entertainment
Speaker 1: at air Fingertips seven as our team covers the most
Speaker 1: important topics in sports wagering, real time odds, predictive betting models,
Speaker 1: expert picks, and more. Want the just didn't get on
Speaker 1: the grid sports grid dot Com or a lot of
Speaker 1: games gets you not a lot of time to do it.
Speaker 1: Like I mentioned Green Bay, MBS, let's hard get share
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers did yesterday in decimating the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: of pathetic performance by them, by their defense in particular,
Speaker 1: how do you see this green Bay offense shaking out?
Speaker 1: The problem yesterday for MBS was that he had three
Speaker 1: targets and there was two, four or six eight players
Speaker 1: that had between two and five targets yesterday for the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. I just think in games that Davanta
Speaker 1: Adams is not around, they're gonna spread the ball around.
Speaker 1: There's not gonna be just one guy that locks in
Speaker 1: now when there are games in a good matchup where
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers could get going clearly like he did yesterday
Speaker 1: against this Oakland Raiders secondary a terrible one. Fire up
Speaker 1: your Houston Texans next week, because that's who's facing this
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders secondary. Kenny still is very good at But
Speaker 1: when they're in good matchups, I think that you can
Speaker 1: trust these guys, Greg, but on a weekly basis, just
Speaker 1: you know, in a neutral or tougher matchup, can you
Speaker 1: trust m vs getting you know, three to five targets?
Speaker 1: Can you trust Toronomo Allison? The answer for me, more
Speaker 1: often than not is going to be no, because I
Speaker 1: think that they're going to spread the ball out again.
Speaker 1: Uh and hopefully Davantae Adams can get healthy. But I
Speaker 1: think after they see a game like this, they're not
Speaker 1: gonna rush him back because they're performing. They're still winning games.
Speaker 1: There's six and one, so they're gonna get Davanta Adams
Speaker 1: as much time as they possibly can. In good matchups,
Speaker 1: you can use these guys, Greg, but in neutral or
Speaker 1: tougher ones, I'm probably staying away. I tend to agree
Speaker 1: it's just simply not worth it to get involved. Oakland
Speaker 1: also just spread the ball around quite a bit yesterday,
Speaker 1: Darren Waller except for one guy. Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Eight targets out of thirty one. I mean that's a
Speaker 1: massive target share. Huge game. Didn't have a touchdown. Entering
Speaker 1: that game, we saw Foster Morea score another touchdown, and
Speaker 1: at the time we're saying, really, Darren Waller can't get
Speaker 1: in the end zone. He was tackled at the one
Speaker 1: yard line. Still ends up with two touchdowns. Someone asking
Speaker 1: the chat, what do I do if I have Waller
Speaker 1: or Evan Engram moving forward? You gotta ride with Darren
Speaker 1: Waller based on his usage, based on his targets. Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones not playing great right now, great matchup for Evan
Speaker 1: Ingram yesterday, didn't take advantage of it either. You gotta
Speaker 1: go with Waller over Evan Ingram right now. It's funny
Speaker 1: he's gonna league that we're together. Frank and I own
Speaker 1: both Darren Waller, uh and we own Travis Kelsey. And
Speaker 1: he was trying to trade one. I was like, why
Speaker 1: are you training our best players? Yeah? And we we
Speaker 1: start multiple flex options soon. Look, if we're not gonna
Speaker 1: get fair value, just continue to start them. Both. Our
Speaker 1: benched pretty good yesterday. Luckily we ended up winning, because
Speaker 1: if we didn't win and that bench went off, I
Speaker 1: don't think we would have the same exuberance enthusiasm you mengined.
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills. He's been on our team a couple of
Speaker 1: times this year, and hopefully he will be again, because
Speaker 1: Kenny still stepped up yesterday as Will Fuller left this
Speaker 1: game with a hamstring injury. We say it every year
Speaker 1: at some point Will Filler is gonna get hurt. Well,
Speaker 1: we've reached the part of the season where he does.
Speaker 1: Will Fuller and the years Texans wound up losing in
Speaker 1: Indianapolis yesterday to Zach Pascal and the Indianapolis Colts. Kenny Stills,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about him a lot. I'm sure tomorrow one
Speaker 1: that's out wide receiver adds off the waiver wire here.
Speaker 1: But Zach Pascal is also probably one of them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do prefer Kenny Stills over Zach Pascal personally, and
Speaker 1: I will tell you why right now. Will Fuller has
Speaker 1: been ruled out for the next couple of weeks and
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans again going up against the Oakland Raiders
Speaker 1: next week. We know that the DeShawn that de Shaun
Speaker 1: Watson and the Houston Texans they like to take deep shots. Yes,
Speaker 1: they can do that with DeAndre Hopkins, but Kenny Still
Speaker 1: is also a very good deep throat wide receiver. Had
Speaker 1: four for one oh five yesterday on five targets, so
Speaker 1: I gotta like him in that matchup against the Oakland Raiders.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be high end wide receiver three for me. Greg,
Speaker 1: I like Zack Pascal. It's gonna be a solid spot
Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. I know that, you know, you
Speaker 1: look at the fantasy points against for wide receivers. The
Speaker 1: Broncos are actually really good. But the way to attack
Speaker 1: them is to attack their secondary corner. We know that
Speaker 1: Chris Harris is going to be on t Y Hilton
Speaker 1: next week, so Zach Pascal might have some value going
Speaker 1: up against the Denver Broncos. But again I looked at
Speaker 1: the snatch and looked at the routes. They're still really
Speaker 1: spreading it out. You know, Dion Kane basically played the
Speaker 1: same amount out as Zach Pascal yesterday wasn't targeted a
Speaker 1: single time. But Zach Pascal, Greg, this is now three
Speaker 1: out of four games He's had at least seventy two
Speaker 1: yards or a touchdown. So he does have a rapport
Speaker 1: with Jacoby Brissette. I like him as a waiver wire ad,
Speaker 1: but not as much as I like Kenny Stills. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. Pascal is one of many,
Speaker 1: and yesterday he had a really good game, no doubt
Speaker 1: about it. But Kenny Stills, I think has his role
Speaker 1: in this offense. We know what John Watson could do
Speaker 1: with the deep ball. I trust him for more consistency
Speaker 1: going forward. How about Jacoby Brissette too. Yesterday I mean
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards four passing touchdowns. You can't say
Speaker 1: enough about the job that Jacoby Brissett and Frank Reich
Speaker 1: have done this year. I mean, weeks before the season started,
Speaker 1: Andrew Look, their franchise quarterback, retires from football and Jacobe
Speaker 1: rist two steps in here, completing nearly sixty seven percent
Speaker 1: of his passes almost fourteen hundred passing are so far,
Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns and three interceptions. You can't say enough about
Speaker 1: the job both he and Frank Reich have done. Greg
Speaker 1: absolutely man they have. They now take over sole possession
Speaker 1: of first place in the a f C South because
Speaker 1: they played one less game, but they are in first place.
Speaker 1: It does count. It counts. Okay, Um, we mentioned when
Speaker 1: the top waiver wire ads, I mean that brings me
Speaker 1: into Detroit. Who felt to Minnesota yesterday? I actually really
Speaker 1: like to trade in that games, especially that they lost,
Speaker 1: but it was bigger loss for them because the potentially
Speaker 1: lost cary On Johnson. We don't still know the status
Speaker 1: of his injury, right, we haven't heard from that, Patricia.
Speaker 1: I have not seen anything so far on carry On Johnson. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we haven't heard anything of carry On Johnson. But
Speaker 1: another Johnson stepped up in his place, and that was
Speaker 1: former Maryland terrapin Ti Johnson, who people were excited about
Speaker 1: coming into the year and he hasn't done all that
Speaker 1: much yesterday. Well he's gonna do all that much, but
Speaker 1: he got the majority of the carries at the goal
Speaker 1: line on the early downs. He was around. He know
Speaker 1: this Detroit team wants to run the football. Was the
Speaker 1: only injury yesterday in this game. Adam Feeling also heard
Speaker 1: himself here the Vikings. They wind up playing on thursdaynight
Speaker 1: football against the Redskins. Let's talk about who we could
Speaker 1: potentially replace Adam filand with and just how badly you
Speaker 1: may want TI Johnson. Yes, we'll start off with the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings side of things. This is huge news for
Speaker 1: Stefen days. I think he's a big winner from yesterday,
Speaker 1: saw eight targets, seven catches for a hundred and forty
Speaker 1: two yards. I'm jumping out of my my seat screaming
Speaker 1: and yelling when he catches that deep pass. I wanted
Speaker 1: him to get inside the end zone. Just didn't have
Speaker 1: enough gas and falls at the two or three yard line.
Speaker 1: But ultimately without Adam feeling on the short week going
Speaker 1: up against Washington, it's a good match up to Washington
Speaker 1: secondary not a good one. I think Stefon dig should
Speaker 1: be able to eat in that matchup. But outside of him,
Speaker 1: B C. Johnson, pay attention to the name. If you're desperate,
Speaker 1: you know by weeks we do have two teams on
Speaker 1: by heading into week eight, we have the Cowboys and
Speaker 1: we have the Baltimore Ravens. B C. Johnson had eight
Speaker 1: targets yesterday, actually tie Stefan Digs for the team lead.
Speaker 1: He had four catches for forty yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be on the field a lot he's
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, in two wide receiver sets. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be out there with Stefon Diggs. But if you
Speaker 1: need a tight end, I do think that Kyle Rolf
Speaker 1: and Earth Smith are also in play. Both of these
Speaker 1: guys had at least six targets yesterday. If Smith five
Speaker 1: catches for sixty yards, Kyle Rudolf five for fifty eight
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Neither one of them have really done
Speaker 1: much so far this season because the Vikings pass attack
Speaker 1: can only support so many people. They don't throw the
Speaker 1: ball much and when they do, it goes to mainly
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling, Stefon Diggs, and Dalvin Cook. So the tight
Speaker 1: ends haven't done much. But if Adam DeLand is out,
Speaker 1: I think that Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith, more so
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph because he still does play more snaps and
Speaker 1: he runs more routes, could be streaming options heading into
Speaker 1: Thursday night football against Washington. On the other side, Greg
Speaker 1: you mentioned Ty Johnson yesterday. He played forty nine of
Speaker 1: seventy six snaps sixty four percent. He had fourteen touches.
Speaker 1: He had fifty seven total yards. Two of those touches
Speaker 1: came inside the ten yard line. J. D. McKissick saw
Speaker 1: seven touches, zero of those came inside of the ten
Speaker 1: yard line. I think that they really liked this kid
Speaker 1: Ti Johnson four point four five forty eighty six percentile
Speaker 1: in speed score coming out of the University of Maryland,
Speaker 1: greg and they liked him enough to cut C. J. Anderson.
Speaker 1: Carry On Johnson dealt with a knee injury last year
Speaker 1: which limited him to games. So going up against the
Speaker 1: Giants in Week eight, a team that just allowed a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty total yards and three touchdowns to Chase Edmonds,
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson is going to be the top waiver wire
Speaker 1: ad for me personally this week. He's in a really
Speaker 1: good spot going up against his Giants defense. Greig, we
Speaker 1: don't have news on carry On, but my early diagnosis
Speaker 1: would be I don't think carry On Johnson plays in
Speaker 1: that game. We haven't really We really have no idea obviously, UM,
Speaker 1: but we'll see a boy carry On Johnson. Adam feeling
Speaker 1: it does the report as you said, came out not
Speaker 1: gonna play this Thursday. He'll be find long term. Um.
Speaker 1: Another Chargers injury is just came out. I rapp report
Speaker 1: guard Forrest Lamp broke his ankle. It's none of the year.
Speaker 1: Another bad news from Melvin Gordon, which means Austeckler in space.
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has just been so beat up, Greg,
Speaker 1: I mean every everybody on the Charges, right, They suffered
Speaker 1: so many injuries every year. Russell Lacom was supposed to
Speaker 1: make his debut yesterday, was supposed to return from injury
Speaker 1: and it didn't happen. And now they lose Lamp too.
Speaker 1: It's tough man, tough for the Chargers, very very tough
Speaker 1: spot for the Chargers who just consistently wind up being injured.
Speaker 1: Let me continue on, Frank, I want get to the
Speaker 1: Rams who one in Atlanta? But Jared Goff, this wide receiver,
Speaker 1: these wide receivers kind of a head game. Like I know,
Speaker 1: Jared Goff put up the numbers alternately, and the wide
Speaker 1: receivers were okay, But you used say that a monster's
Speaker 1: break out, a monstros win for them against a bad
Speaker 1: Atlanta team. Only winner I took from this game, Gerald Everett. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. I think it's all
Speaker 1: around for this Los Angeles Rams offense outside of Gerald Everett,
Speaker 1: Jared Goff twenty two of thirty seven. Really against the
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons defense without Desmond true Font, It's just crazy.
Speaker 1: Seven point two yards per tempt. He did throw two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He had a rushing touchdown which really helped his day
Speaker 1: as well. But again, this completion percentage for Jared Goff
Speaker 1: yesterday just doesn't impress me. Todd Gurley returns eighteen carries
Speaker 1: for forty one yards two point three yards per carry.
Speaker 1: I understand. The offensive line another one that you know
Speaker 1: hasn't been great so far this year. That seems to
Speaker 1: be a theme out there in Los Angeles, San Diego,
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call it. But Todd Gurley not They're
Speaker 1: They're different cities, No, I understand in but like you,
Speaker 1: basically the San Diego I mean, did they even play
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles? And mean, is that is that even
Speaker 1: a thing? I don't know? Playing Carson right, I don't know, whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. The offensive lines on the West Coast
Speaker 1: haven't been great, but the wide receivers again, I mean
Speaker 1: these basically all this production happened in the first half yesterday.
Speaker 1: Robert Woods five for eighty That's fine. We were expecting
Speaker 1: a bigger game. Brandon cooks for Cooper cups six for fifty.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people have him as a
Speaker 1: top five wide receiver, look to be a good DFS
Speaker 1: play as well. I mean, it's just there's still something
Speaker 1: wrong with this team. Greg. They scored thirties seven points,
Speaker 1: but I don't feel great about it. Like Jared Golf
Speaker 1: is gonna be a stream going up against the Bengals
Speaker 1: this week they travel back home. He's supposed to be
Speaker 1: better at home. But ultimately, I'm with you. I think
Speaker 1: this is an situation all around. Gerald Leverett ten targets
Speaker 1: very good. You'd like to see that four catches for
Speaker 1: fifty yards in a touchdown. He has really taken over
Speaker 1: that role as he passed catching tight end for this team.
Speaker 1: He was the tight end that Sean McVeigh drafted when
Speaker 1: he first came over to the Los Angeles Brands and
Speaker 1: took over. And I remember we were all excited about
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett his rookie year, Greig, because Sean McVeigh came
Speaker 1: from Washington, where they used the tight end a lot,
Speaker 1: they used Jordan Read a lot, and it's finally coming
Speaker 1: to fruition. I think this is what they envisioned for
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett, but his targets being up this year. The
Speaker 1: way they have Greg It is really eaten into the
Speaker 1: production of Robert Woods, Brandon Cooks and to a lesser extent,
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. But Cooper Cup has been amazing. Robert Woods
Speaker 1: and Brandon Cooks have not. They have not given us
Speaker 1: what we were expecting coming into the season. No, it's
Speaker 1: been disappointing from these Rams wide receivers. We all had
Speaker 1: ranked in a similar spot was Cooper Cup has been reliable,
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, Brandon Cooks simply not so much. On the
Speaker 1: other side, Matt Ryan left this game with an ankle injury.
Speaker 1: Duvante Freeman got thrown out of this game. He's been
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire for the Lata. Alcon's just a mess.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Maybe it's because they didn't they don't
Speaker 1: have someone that they want to turn it over to
Speaker 1: that they just kind of want to let Dan Quinn
Speaker 1: see out the rest of his days in Atlanta. But
Speaker 1: I thought that he should have been fired. I mean,
Speaker 1: how do you score ten points yesterday? I understand the
Speaker 1: Rams got Jalen Ramsey and their defense was amped up
Speaker 1: for this one, but I mean in a game that
Speaker 1: had a fifty five. Totally you only managed to put
Speaker 1: up ten points. I mean, it was just a horrendous
Speaker 1: showing all around for the for the Atlanta Falcons. DeVante
Speaker 1: Freeman ejected as well, we have to make sure Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan is good to go, because if he's not, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have Matt shop throwing passes. Last time, we told
Speaker 1: this guy playing consistently he was a pick six machine
Speaker 1: and that has major implications on fantasy because Julio Jones
Speaker 1: first round pick. I mean it wasn't great yesterday, but
Speaker 1: still six. He'll take that. With Matt schaubin there, who
Speaker 1: knows what you're gonna get. At least you know he
Speaker 1: threw a touchdown to Austin Hooper. That helps, But Calvin
Speaker 1: Ridley a letdown. I mean, just all around. I think
Speaker 1: dan Quinn is as good as gone, Greg. Does he
Speaker 1: make it to the end of the season. No, No,
Speaker 1: their cutter, you can't can you can't get it to
Speaker 1: me More as the defensive end, I guess you can
Speaker 1: think Mike Mlarkey, Yeah, I think you're cutter to coach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think dan quinns is it his gun. I agree.
Speaker 1: I said that for a while now Bill survive against
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Defense wasn't as good as I would hope for.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did look good. A lot of him. Um
Speaker 1: on the other side, Mark Walton, Hala Milage, it's a
Speaker 1: lot of them with Kenyan Jake on the j block. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought that Mark Walton was a clear winner yesterday
Speaker 1: as well. He had six He had fourteen carries. Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake only had six. Mark Walton led this team with
Speaker 1: thirty eight of the snaps. He had one target as well,
Speaker 1: so he had fifteen opportunities total, whereas Kenyan Drake only
Speaker 1: had ten. They're trying to trade away Kenyan Drake. That's
Speaker 1: why I said last week, Greg, I thought Mark Walton
Speaker 1: was a good waiver wire ad. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Mark Walton is a clear winner, although he's on a
Speaker 1: bad team. I think the wide receivers as much as
Speaker 1: you want to Scoff edit Greg, they let us down
Speaker 1: two weeks ago with Ryan Fitzpatrick as the quarterback. Preston
Speaker 1: Williams and DeVante Parker are both gonna have value tough
Speaker 1: matchup against the Bills yesterday, and they still showed up
Speaker 1: a games. It's a very, very good point. All right,
Speaker 1: we had a lot more to talk about. We'll do
Speaker 1: it tomorrow. Another edition could be Frank, we'll see you then.

Speaker 1: f like, how can you do that? Not tell the league?
Speaker 1: And of course Jeff, Jeff's just like I should have
Speaker 1: outed Gregg the first time. He should have. Fine, you
Speaker 1: should have. Nobody should have. Didn't do any of the illegal.

Speaker 1: for this weekend, my league. But that's any Frank, do
Speaker 1: let you do anything wrong unless they figure it out.
Speaker 1: It's only cheating if you get caught, right, But it
Speaker 1: wasn't cheating. It was a loophole technically, well what to loophole? Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, bending the rules kind of seeing.
Speaker 1: You know, it's Bill Belichick knowing the rules. There you go.
Speaker 1: The different is its whistling from his bench. That's what's right,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's undefeated. Me. I can't buy a win because
Speaker 1: I suck. So this is your fantasy karma. So get tea.
Speaker 1: I didn't cheat, but I still suck. I'm sorry. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, Greg as David Johnson owner, I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna lose as well. What are my chances of the
Speaker 1: Patriots scoring two points or less tonight? The Patriots defense? Yes,
Speaker 1: very bad? Right, Yeah, it's not kids tonight. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: got a mill night football. A little bit later on
Speaker 1: in the show, Patriots uh and Jets from that lefty going,
Speaker 1: I'm not going. I was offered tickets by two different people.
Speaker 1: But get home late on Monday night, and you know
Speaker 1: your Tuesday gets start off. You're all sluggish. Gonna take
Speaker 1: me a while to get home from the stadium. It's fine.
Speaker 1: I was just watching from the comfort of my couch.
Speaker 1: That's that's probably gonna get out anyway. Probably I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I want to try to go to Giants Cowboys in
Speaker 1: two weeks on in the night. I don't know, considering
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones keeps playing the way he is, maybe you
Speaker 1: won't want to do that, you know, Man, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it's definitely. It's like on my right, it's it's
Speaker 1: my wedding weeks. It's a cool week to start off
Speaker 1: the wedding week, right like Giants Cowboys. That's basically kicking
Speaker 1: off November. Huh, kicking off your birthday week my birthday week.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's not your wedding week, it's my birthday. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying what I'm pretty sure my
Speaker 1: birthday is more important. They not saying what's in your
Speaker 1: wedding I'm just saying that my birthday week, your birthday week,
Speaker 1: coincides of my wedding week. All right? Well, will there
Speaker 1: be a birthday cake for me at your will be cake?

Speaker 1: up for me? Man, no problem, You're not gonna have
Speaker 1: You're gonna have your pants and heavy birthday to me. No,
Speaker 1: that'd be great. I'm sure it wouldn't be. You're not
Speaker 1: noticed the happy birthday to you, and that would be
Speaker 1: equally great. You can do that. You get my camp friends,
